This article contains spoilers for One Piece.
In the world one pieceOda has introduced fans to many powerful characters over the years, some of whom have incredible powers up their sleeves. Some rely on Devil Fruits, others utilize top-level Haki, and others combine the two to maximize the power efficiency they possess.
One Piece finally reveals the next level of hockey.
Advanced hockey is not the final step. Oda shows a level of mastery that goes beyond that in One Piece.
One of the characters fans have seen is one piece The cartoon was Whitebeard. He was considered the world's strongest man upon his debut, and through Paramount War, he let fans know why he earned this title. But now, years after the Paramount Wars ended, Oda has officially revealed himself to fans. Another character stronger than WhitebeardThus, he becomes the strongest man in the world, albeit for a very short period of time.
Before Whitebeard, Harald was the strongest man in the One Piece world.
It is unclear when exactly Whitebeard received the title of World's Strongest Man, and there is no confirmation of this in the comics. As things stand, fans can assume that after Roger's death, Whitebeard will be known as the strongest man in the world. It should also be noted that his title is directly tied to his Devil Fruit, which gives him the power to destroy the world itself.
King Harald passed away after a fierce battle with Loki. What you see are the scars of that battle. Loki is certainly strong, but King Harald is also known as a great warrior in his own right. All this destruction was inevitable. The only people who survived in the castle that day were Chief Jarul and Loki. — Rodo at the Battle of Castle Aurst 14 years ago
Still, in one-on-one combat, Whitebeard was certainly not the strongest after Roger's death. After the death of the Pirate King, the strongest person will be Harald, King of Elbaf. It may be hard for some fans to believe, but the truth is that Harald was Rocks' equal. Even if Whitebeard reaches the same level as Rocks after the events of God Valley, he will still not reach Harald's level.
Whether it's strength or hockey in every way, Harald was the strongest man in the world until 14 years ago.And Oda makes this very clear on several occasions. Elbaf was cut off from the world, and since Harald was not a true pirate and simply acted as a king, it makes perfect sense why he didn't have a fierce title associated with him.
Harald was stronger than Whitebeard
Harald was already at rock level about 38 years ago, but he became even stronger next time. It is a known fact that Harald received the Shallow Sea Contract from the Five Elders, and although it did not enhance his powers, it certainly gave him some abilities.
Hey, I'm talking to you right now. I am the sun god who appears in the legends of this land. You must not talk to me without permission, human. I consider myself the strongest being on this earth. This is Warland, Elbaf’s kingdom of violence. The world's most powerful nation once lived and breathed war. And I am the sun god who destroys the world, Loki! — Loki introduces himself in the Elbaf Arc.

The most powerful Devil Fruit has already been revealed, and it belongs to the Yonko from One Piece.
The real power Harald gained was the Deep Sea Treaty.What he officially received one piece Chapter 1168 When Harald received this contract, he clearly stated that a new power was surging through his body and that it strengthened him greatly overall. In other words, Harald's amazing power, which was already equal to Rox's, has now reached a completely different level, making him the strongest person in the world.
Additionally, Harald now has access to immortality, which is very clearly stated in the story as he will not die in battle. All things considered, it was clear that Harald was the strongest man in the world until the moment of his death.
Harald died under mysterious circumstances 14 years ago.
14 years ago, Elbaf's fate changed. when Harald was asked by Imu to raise a large army. Competing with the Navy and fighting for him, he decided to disobey the Great One. It was here that Imu eventually took control of his body, and fans know that a mysterious battle ensued and that Harald died.
After Harald's death, Whitebeard was without a doubt the strongest man in the world. He from One Piece held this title until his death. It's a shame that fans won't be able to see Harold in his prime, giving his all, but it's true that he was the world's strongest man at one point in the story.
